Winnipeg curler Jaedon Neuert will wear Canadian colours at the 2020 Youth Winter Olympic Games.
The Grade 11 student at Collège Jeanne-Sauvé was one of four players chosen to compete on the Canadian mixed team in Lausanne, Switzerland, Jan. 9-22.
Neuert, 16, curls out of the the St. Vital Club and was third on Jordon McDonald’s Manitoba team that recently won a bronze medal at the national under-18 boys championship.
He’s joined on the Youth Olympic foursome by Emily Deschenes of Greely, Ont., Lauren Rajala of Sudbury, Ont., and Nathan Young of Torbay, N.L. Positions for the players haven’t been assigned, and will be determined following training camps leading up to the event.
Athletes were assessed based on their curling skill, community leadership and academic achievement, and were also asked to submit a 500-word essay outlining why they wanted to play in the Youth Winter Olympics, and how it could impact both their own curling ambitions as well as curling development in Canada.
In all, 24, countries will send teams to the 2020 Games. Once the mixed team event is done, players will then be formed into mixed doubles teams, matching players from different nations, for another competition that will conclude the event.
